STARVED FOR MONTHS.
A Man Confined in a Bale OF Cotton-A Case
That Puzzles the Physicians.


NEW YORK, October 22.-On the last day of
last August the great cotton warehouse of
John S. Richards, in this city, was burned
and thousands of bales Of cotton were des-
| troyed. Thousands more have been lying
around the vicinity of the fire, and all summer
| workmen have been busy tearing them open,
! stamping out possible smouldering embers and
sorting the good from the bad.
A number of workmen were hard at work
| this morning, when suddenly one Of them gave
a yell, and pointed in horror to a long gaunt
something rising feebly out of an open bale.
The apparition staggered to its feet, and feebly
asked for water. 1t fell backward unconscious.
The wretched being was frightful to behold.
His eyes, unnaturally large, glared like those
OF wild beast. His skin was yellow, and
drawn over his stiff cheek-boneS like parch-
ment. The shrunken lips fell back from great
yellow teeth A long beard, white with the
cotton in it, gave him patriarchal air that
changed feelings of horror to that of pity.
some water was given him, and he was lifted
out OF his resting place. Strong restoratiyes
were applied, and he was finally brought
around. His first act was TO snatch crust of
bread, which one of the workmen had thrown
away after dinner. He ate it ravenously. He
was taken to the Roosevelt hospital, where he
was fed back into life, and then cleaned and
washed back to humanity.
The poor wretch told horrible story. Dur
ing the big strike he had quit work, and then
when the strike broke he had failed to get
work. He wandered around, sleeping in area
ways or the docks, and wherever he could
find a nights shelter. One day while walking
along Charlton street, past the railroads
warehouse he noticed a hole in the wall of
the building big enough for him to crawl
through. So that became his lodging. He had
been sleeping in his den on the night of the
fire. Finding an open hole he crawled into it
and found it cosy, though trihe warm for sum-
mer. During the night the fire broke out. His
first impulse was to dart out through the hole,
but he feared that he might be caught coming
out and accused of setting fire to the building.
While he was debating the floor above him
came down with d clash, and he was buried
under an avalanche of cotton He says that
after day or two he remembered nothing
more save the feeling of water tricklng
through the cotton on him. He could re-
member that for week of his horrible i'm
prisonment, but after that he knew nothing
until this morning, when one of the men
struck him with a piekax while digging in
the cotton. He gave his name as John Reese.
The man is so faint and exhausted by his
two months imprisonment that he will hardly
live. AS it is, the doctors, supposing the story
to be true, are at a loss to understand how he
should survive at ALL though it has been sug-
gested that the oil in the cotton kept him
alive.

Dan Harrell was wading in the water at Ap-
alachicola. He had on pair of
boots portion of the upper" being torn
loose from the sole. After he left the water he
came up town and seated himself on the wharf
near the old guano factory. When seated thus
he was considerably startled by Mr.. John b.
Mcneil who shouted,
"Look at that snake coming out of your
boot!n
Harrell looked down at his foot and saw a
moccasin' head protruding from tho broken
place in his boot. He pulled out the snake,
which measured two feet in length, and one of
the bystanders Immediately pounced upon ii
killing it. The snake was SO closely jammed

No Universal Remedy

has yet been discovered; but, as at least
four-fifths of human diseases have their
source in Impure Blood a medicine
which restores that fluid from de-
PRAYED to healthy condition comes as
near being universal cure as any that
can be produced. Ayers SarsaparilIa
affects the blood in each stage of its
formation, and is, therefore, adapted to
greater variety of complaints than any
other known medicine.

BOils and Car!1unGIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after comparative
iy brief trlaA.
Mr.. c. X. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
Ricted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he mad several
ct one time. He then began the use OF
& Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, ScrofuIa, La
Che fruitful cause of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one Of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of a scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsghtly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need OF
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla a fair
trial, avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.

SOUTH CAROLINA.l

OF Pckens county, lost her life Thursday by sing1I-
lar accident. needle with which she had been
sewing was careessly sticking in the front part of
her dress when She went out into the yard to feed
her pigs Whilst leaning over the pen the needle
came in contact with a board and was suddenly
driven into Mrs. stones breast just above the heart
producing wound, from the effects of which she
died in two hours.
In the court of general sessions for Chester
county Tuesday, when Judge Wallace called
csse Of j. Harvey Nicely, who was indicted for
challenging j .E. McMurray to fight duel, the
states attorney announced that the case had
been compromised, whereupon nOlle pros. was
entered Nicely and McNIurray are we'll to do
farmers, and both are members of the same
Presbyterian church, McMurray being a dea-
con. Their quarrel grew out of q dispute over
church matters. Neely's challenge was to
fight at ten PAGES with shot guns. Nicely went
to the appointed place prepared to fight, but
instead of finding McDlurray he found a con-
stable with a warrant for his arrest. The
church people, to prevent the evil effects of q
trial in criminal court, recently took the
matter in hand, and through the instrumental
lty OF prominent Presbyterian minister, and
with the sanction OF the states attorney, af-
fected a compromise outside the court. I'M
mediatedly after the famous duel in 1880, in
which Colonel William Shannon was killed by
Colonel e, b. g. Cash. anti dueling societies
were established all over the state, and the
Legislature passed an act requiring
all officials of the state, on
taking the oath of office, to
take an additional oath neither to send nor to
accept challenge to fight duel, and making
the act OF sending or accepting challenge a
felony. Colonel Cash was tried for murder,
but after several mistrials the case was discon-
tinued. The stringent law is still on the stat
ute book. Nothing has yet been accomplished
by it, and it is safe to say that it will ever re-
main dead letter.

because Mr.. Glanton refused to admit the
marriage, the case was decided in her
favor. About a month ago, 1 received
a letter from south Georgia that ends
this case in rather an unusual
way. 1t seems that when Mr.. Glanton mar
ried his wife she was a widow Carter, or repre-
sented herself as such. This was in January
1874. But in 1865, in Taylor county, she was
married to Charles Carter. She and Carter
shortly separated, and he went to Florida
There he married another wife. His wife-our
Mrs. Glanton-followed him to Florida and
prosecuted him for bigamy. He was sentenced
May It'll, 1870, for the term Of two years.
Strange TO say, his wife No. /, after having
prosecuted him, stayed in Florida and used her
wonderful energy iii trying to get him pardoned.
But on July 18th, 1870, Carter escaped, and
until about month ago nothing was
heard of him. How the report
reached Carter I don't know, but
he heard that Mrs Glanton had become won
aenully rich, and also heard that she was dead
This suddenly revived his love. He, through
ms agent, opened q correspondence with me.
pretended that the report was true as to Mrs.
Glantons wealth, because wanted to get at
the truth of this episode. About two weeks
ago you may have noticed n stranger around
here--a modest looking, middle-aged man,
with blue eyes, brown hair and light complex
ion, about five feet five inches high He STAYED
only two days. This was Charles Carter. He
found out that Mrs. Glanton was not rich
This did not seem to disturb him much but
when he learned she was living he left these
parts in hurry. So this ends the romance.
Mr. Glanton is not a married man, and Mrs.
Ganton is Mrs Carter.

INCIDENT to the great industrial de-
velopments of the age, the building
of bridges holds prominent place in
our civilization. In modern times the
railroad viaduct over the Menai straits
between the coast of Wales and the
Island of Anglesea. was the first. The
suspension bridge over the Niagara
river was the next great enterprise Of
this sort, and for boldness of concep-
tion and perfection of achievement it
has hardly been exceeded. The Vic
toria bridge over the St. Lawrence at
Montreal takes rank among the earli-
est and greatest Of these triumphs
of modern science. Thus far, the
Brooklyn bridge is the greatest of all
these steps in the material progress
OF our era. But there are many others
Of notable boldness of conception.
There are two great viaducts being
thrown over the lordly Hudson, one
at Troy, and the other at Poughkeep-
sic. Then there is project to
span that grand stream with a
third bridge near West Point, the
western end of which would rest on a
spur OF the Storm King, as N. P.
Willis POLITICALLY named the highest
mountain peak at this place. But all
these projects and achievements be-
come small, when compared with the
plan of throwing bridge over the
Straits of Dover from the town of that
name in England to Calais in France.
And these great steps in our march
of progress recall the fact that this
business is all as old as civilization.
So important was bridge-building in
ancient times that the spanning Of a
river by a viaduct was initiated with
.he most solemn rites Of religion. The
officiating priest was known from bis
